Is this what is described as a medical "impending sense of doom/dread"?

This sounds very much like a known technique called "mindfulness". How is "the Wedge" different from "mindfulness" techniques?

It seems to me that what you are describing is a process through which one can attain familiarity with the state of "mindfulness". Any description that I have heard of "the Wedge" seems functionally identical to Mindfulness. It is the conscious effort to separate your incoming stimuli from your autonomous response. You seem to be very honed in on the process of placing yourself in situations where this can be trained or sharpened and less on the physical phenomenon you are developing. Is that accurate?

From someone who quit after years of smoking, day 3 and 4 are the hardest. After that it's downhill. The craving never completely goes away but it fades into a tiny tap on the back of your brain in certain circumstances instead of a handhold on the front of your brain all the time.

That is how you learn. Chase the trail of shit you don't know until you know what you need.
